SCARBOROUGH railway workers Steve Whitehead and Darren Morley have swapped the train tracks for mountain treks as they scale parts of the world’s largest mountain, Mount Everest, to raise money for homeless children. The duo are currently on their epic adventure which sees them trek 70 miles through some of the most adverse conditions in the world up to 18,000 feet above sea level in the Himalayas.
Darren, 46, who works as a train driver, added: “It is an unbelievable opportunity but we know how hard it will be. Steve and myself both compete in triathlons so are fit people, but it is the conditions that will be the real test, but we are very much looking forward to it.” Steve and Darren set off on March 14 for their adventure and are set to return back in England on March 30. n To find out how you can sponsor them and for some facts and figures on Mount Everest see page 6.

Competitions
IN the first of our monthly photography piece provided by members of SCARBOROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS on Facebook, Osgodby resident Mark Heslington has sent us this superb snap of the eclipse. Mark said: “After setting out at the North Bay to photograph the eclipse I decided to give up as the cloud was just too thick. Then, when I was heading back through town I caught a glimpse through a break in the clouds. It was 9.20am at this point so I headed straight up to the South Cliff and captured a few images when there was a break in the clouds. In the end the cloud cover actually made for a better image, I think a clear sky would not have had the same impact.”

WE have teamed up with our friends from Rowan Tree Garden Design to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a beautiful Rowan Tree. Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) is also known as Mountain Ash and is native to the UK and northern and western Europe.
It is commonly found in the wild, particularly in the highlands of Scotland, but it is also widely planted as a street or garden tree. The Rowan tree is a particularly popular choice for small gardens as they are slow
growing and will not grow too big. They produce beautiful white blossom in the spring, followed by vibrant red berries in June and fiery red leaves in the autumn. Rowan’ are also an excellent focal point in a town garden because of their tidy shape and tollerance of pollution. They will also weather extremes of heat, cold and drought - a small but hardy tree! To be in with a chance of winning a Rowan Tree simply answer the following question:
What is the other common name for a Rowan Tree? A) Mountain Ash B) Mountain Beech C) Mountain Oak Deadline for entries is Friday April 17.

Spooky stories add extra vision for Books By The Beach by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk THERE will be some spooky goings on as part of Books By The Beach in April. Scarborough Prison will be the venue for a discussion of all things Jack The Ripper on the evening of Thursday 16 April. As part of it, actor John Benfield (Prime Suspect and the forthcoming A.D.) will be reading from contemporary reports and little known accounts. Books By The Beach co-director Peter Guttridge has also written The Dead House, a dark mystery story that has both a twist in the tale and one in the telling.
Audience members will experience the story narrated on headsets as they snake their way through the Dean Road and the adjacent Manor Road cemeteries, stopping at points where incidents in the narrative take place. Peter said: “I'm looking forward to working with the Friends of the cemeteries to make this happen. “And I'm thrilled the Arts Council are supporting the project. I'm even more thrilled that Greta Scacchi, a friend of the festival who was so terrific narrating ghost stories in Scarborough Prison last year, has agreed to voice the narration the audience will be hearing.”
Double delight for Scarborough nursery school Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk IT was twice as nice for staff and youngsters at Childhaven Community Nursery School after they received an outstanding Ofsted report for a second time. The local authority maintained nursery on Belgrave Crescent in Scarborough has continued to set excellent standards in childcare and teaching, and this was reflected in the report. Headteacher, Jane Pepper said: “We were delighted that the report identified what makes Childhaven so special – the dedication and commitment of all the people who work here, and the creativity and joy of learning that they share with the children and their families. We invest time and resources in activities such as music and beach school activities because we know that these experiences make a lifelong impact on children, giving them

skills, knowledge and confidence to take on new challenges and continue their learning journeys.” Among the things the report highlighted were: *Everyone involved in the school is passionate about giving all children the best possible start in life. *Relationships are very strong and exude warmth and respect. Adults have very high standards and carefully teach children routines and how to live and work alongside each other. *Teaching is of an exceptionally high quality. Staff know each child extremely well and plan activities and develop ‘learning adventures’ which stimulate and excite them. *The school is justly proud of its reputation in the town and as lead school in the Scarborough Teaching Alliance. n For further details on Childhaven Nursery call 01723 373231.
Scarborough Prison The opening event in the morning of Thursday 16 April will be very much a family affair. Barry Norman, much loved film critic, cricket fan and comic novelist, will be appearing with his daughter, broadcaster and, now, novelist, Samantha Norman. As happened last year, there is a special bonus event a few days after the official end of the festival - and what a bonus. On 29 April Alexander McCall Smith will be

Marion made-up ahead of exhibition by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk CONTEMPORARY Textile Artist Marion Atkinson presents her From Source to Sea exhibition throughout the month of April. Marion was brought up on the North Yorkshire Moors and takes inspiration from the wild sea-shore and bleak moorlands for both her textiles work and poetry. Marion said: “I use natural organic forms as a starting point, but interpret them using non-organic materials in
mixed media, multi-layered pieces. “I try to capture the essence of the original subject matter and am really looking forward to putting this exhibition on.” The exhibition runs from the 4-26 April, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 11am4pm and 12-4pm on Sundays at St James' Art Centre on Seamer Road in Scarborough.

IT is with a heavy heart that Jujitsu instructor Ian Woolston is leaving his Enso Ryu class at Scarborough's YMCA after 16 years. But the club is in safe hands moving forwards under the guidance of the emerging Brian Smith. Ian is having to leave his beloved club after 20 years as a pupil and 16 years in charge because of work reasons, but is grateful for some fantastic memories and experiences that have played such a huge role in his life. Ian said: “I just had my last session with the club because I have got a new job in Hull which simply means I can no longer commit to the group. “When I joined this club some 20 years ago, I would never have imagined I would still be involved 20 years later, never mind as instructor for the period I have managed. “It has been magnificent and it certainly has changed my life and I will always hold this club very close to my heart. “It is brilliant that Brian is stepping up and taking over and I am positive he will
do a magnificent job and that the club will continue to thrive at the YMCA.” Brian added: “Ian has been a great servant to the club and it is a shame he has to move on but so many have learnt so much from him and we all wish him the best for the future.” Steve Marsh, Executive Director of Scarborough YMCA said: “Ian has been such an important part of the YMCA for so long and his commitment and dedication are a great example to others. He has been responsible for shaping the lives of so many young people over the last two decades and we will all miss him. It is absolutely fantastic though that the club will continue under new leadership, and current and new members can continue to receive top quality instruction”. The Enso Ryu club juniors train every Tuesday and Thursday between 7-8pm with the adult classes on Thursdays between 8-10pm. n For further information ring Scarborough YMCA on 01723 374227.

Gig Rotation promoting talent all around Words & photo by Pete Spence GIG Rotation is set to introduce lots of fresh new talent to the Scarborough Music scene while also letting local acts spread their talents further afield. The new gig and event promotion has been set up by musician Dan Oroszlan and will also provide an opportunity for live music acts to have their sessions recorded and played online. Dan said: “I have been involved in the local music scene for a while and was in a band in Scarborough called Jammin Through Time. I often thought that there was not enough scope for local bands to play elsewhere and at the same time for more bands from away to visit, so have set up Gig Rotation. “I have established two venues in Scarborough so far which are the West Riding and here at the Old Vic and we want to grow that number. I have a venue in Hull too, so for example, if any local bands here in Scarborough would fancy playing there, then we can make that happen.” Gig Rotation is staging an event on Easter Sunday April 5 with the likes of Ross Dransfield, Two
Tones and Connor Lawlor all featuring. Dan added: “It will be a great way to get the Gig Rotation name out there with a great event with lots of talent on show. “My long-term plan is to have regular live lounge gigs where those acts performing can have their session recorded and then uploaded to our YouTube page. “The idea is to have the gigs played on the big screen in the

They can now come and go as they please without knocking at the door and waiting outside in the cold winter months. “It also means easy access for prams too. We also got a wider door fitted in November so not one customer struggles now.”

SO let’s learn a bit more about Mount Everest and what was awaiting Darren and Steve in Nepal: • Everest is 29,035 feet or 8848 meters high • The summit is the border of Nepal to the south and China or Tibet on the north • It is over 60 million years old • Everest was formed by the movement of the Indian tectonic plate pushing up and against the Asian plate • Everest grows by about a quarter of an inch (0.25”) every year • It consists of different types of shale, limestone and marble Mount Everest • The rocky summit is covered with deep snow all year long • The Jet Stream sits on top of Everest almost all year long • The wind can blow over 200 mph • The temperature can be -80F • Like all mountains around the world, the local, indiginious people were the first to see it • Everest is called Chomolungma in Tibet. It means mother goddess of the universe • Everest is called Sagarmatha in Nepal. It means goddess of the sky It was first identified for the western world by a British survey team lead by Sir George Everest in 1841.

Leisure and learning group keeps members young at heart “We used to be based at the Hospital Social Club right up until last year when we moved to the Old Vic.
Words & Pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
SCARBOROUGH Leisure and Learning retirement group are celebrating their 15 year birthday and I was invited along to give them a talk all about your favourite free local newspaper the Scarborough Review. I had been meaning to attend the group earlier in the year, but in this industry things often crop up and plans are changed. I am glad however, that I finally got the chance to head down to the Old Vic in Scarborough, where the group meet every Tuesday between 10am-12noon. Social secretary Margaret Rogers was waiting to welcome me to the group, and after a short introduction I gave my talk. It was probably as interesting to the audience as it was to myself as I talked about how the newspaper industry had changed over the years that I have worked in it and how the Scarborough Review had come to fruition. I was fielded plenty of questions and hope that I answered each one as thoroughly as possible while also keeping everyone engaged. The group was started in March 2000 by Mr and Mrs George and Joan Richardson, who came up with the idea after spending some time in Australia where similar clubs and groups took place quite frequently. The couple wanted to start a group back here and the Leisure and Learning Group was born. Danneke Neale is the only founder member of the club who still attends to this day. She said: “It is fantastic that this group has been going so long and I remember when we set it up.
“The group meets every Tuesday and we have talks from various people and also have trips out. Members have obviously passed on over the years but we are never short of numbers and it is a great way of socialising and learning interesting things at the same time.”
Long-term member Charles Braithwaite
Danneke is originally from Romania but fell in love with Scarborough over 30 years ago after moving to England and the North East as a child towards the end of the Second World War. She added: “Scarborough is such a wonderful place and I have worked here in nursing homes over the years and enjoyed it very much. I live in the Sandybed area of the town and am glad to have settled in such a beautiful part of the country.” Group social secretary Margaret Rogers, added: “This club is a smashing way for us retired folk to get together and have a chat and a coffee whilst also listening to guest speakers who tell us about all the wonderful things happening around us that we probably don’t know lots about. We have had speakers from the likes of the Maritime Heritage Group and the Friends of Dean and Manor Road Cemetery, all coming along in their own time to share with us what they do.
Club founder member Danneke Neale
“At present we have room for 37 members but are pretty much full up and even have people on a waiting list to join us. “It shows how popular the group is and long may it continue.” Kev Sykes, owner of the Old Vic, said: “When the group approached us about using the venue for their meetings we were delighted. They are a lovely bunch of people who we welcome every week.” n If you would like to give a talk to the group on something you are involved with then please ring Margaret on 01723 448198.

Brand new partnership for Scarborough Campus Words & Pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
THE University Campus Scarborough has launched a strategic partnership between
the University of Hull and Hull College Group at Filey Road. The partnership is the culmination of a process that began in April 2014 when the University of Hull proposed that the Scarborough Campus should develop a new institutional model for higher education delivery. Announcing the launch, Professor Calie Pistorius Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hull said: “This is an exciting day for the Scarborough Campus and the wider community. I am delighted to see University Campus Scarborough launched as it is the first tangible sign of our joint vision for the future of higher education in the town, building on the current established platform.
Professor Calie Pistorius (left), ViceChancellor of the University of Hull and Gary Walke MBE, Chief Executive of Hull College Group
“The University of Hull will continue to teach its existing students on the campus until 2017 and will also continue
its research and engagement activity, maintaining a presence in Scarborough. We are working closely with Hull College Group to ensure we provide our current and future students with an excellent student experience.” Gary Warke, Chief Executive of Hull College Group, said: “We are particularly excited to be able to provide those who study with us with an outstanding offer at a well-established campus with excellent facilities including access to on-campus accommodation, an active Students’ Union, clubs, societies and the broad support that really underpins life as an undergraduate”. The Scarborough Campus has received significant investment over the last few years including modernisation of the library, state-of-the-art Wi-Fi and the region’s first 3G sports pitch.
At the launch, Hull College Group unveiled the 2015 entry prospectus outlining the first courses to be ready for enrolment in September this year. Given the short timescale for recruitment, the initial programmes will include HNC/D General Engineering, HNC/D Construction and the Built Environment, HNC/D Health and Social Care, Teacher Training Certificate in Education (Lifelong Learning), a selection of professional and business qualifications, including AAT Accounting and CIPD HR Management, HNC Business, as well as Access to HE and ESOL and EFL courses, aimed at students with English as a second language. The University of Hull will not only continue to have a presence on the Filey Road campus but as academic sponsor of the Scarborough University Technical College.

Dear Editor, I just wanted to highlight what a fantastic tradition and celebration St Patrick’s Day has become. It seems to be popular everywhere and this year was great. We had two brilliant live bands on called Collcannon and Shamrockers and they were very entertaining. It would be great if St George’s Day was celebrated in the same way but it is not. We would like to thank all our customers and friends who made St Patrick’s Day once again a massive success.

Dear Editor Contact a Family – a national charity that supports UK families with disabled children whatever their disability is worried that local families in the Scarborough area could be missing out on a potential £21.55-£138.05 extra each week because they wrongly think they’re not entitled to Disability Living Allowance (DLA). DLA is the main benefit for disabled children and can transform a family’s income by helping to meet the extra costs of raising a disabled child like transport, heating, special food and clothing. It also helps families feel less alone by giving disabled children the chance to have fun at local activities. It can cost three times more to raise a disabled child than a nondisabled child and our latest research has found that more than a quarter of families
with disabled children have additional expenses of over £300 every month. Despite this, many parents tell us they don’t claim DLA because they believe their child’s disability isn’t severe enough, their child needs a diagnosis first before they can make a claim, or they aren’t eligible because their child has a learning disability, autistic spectrum disorder or behaviour problems. These are myths and not true. Contact a Family is here to help. Make sure your family isn’t missing out on this potentially life-saving extra income. n Visit www.cafamily.org.uk or call our free helpline on 0808 808 3555 so we can talk you through the rules for getting DLA. Kind regards Una Summerson Head of Policy and campaigns, Contact a Family

Dear Editor
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away ... well, The Spa actually ... imagine the scene. The Danse Society ready to open the evening gig at Sci-Fi Scarborough. Me, on the guest list, pint of warm real ale in a plastic glass and wide-eyed at the whole, amazing spectacle of the event. The lead singer, Maethelyiah, dressed in the most amazing silver ‘robot’ outfit. Bright lights, fantastic venue, Darth Vader and Daleks invading the stage, and Thunderbirds are go! The Danse Society start playing! (The band rehearse at my house twice a week, so I am used to the noisy drumming but usually from two floors down). LIVE they are quite some experience! Maethelyiah’s voice is as impressive as her costume. Music loud, almost to the point of overwhelming. Constructivist style sepia film rolling as the backdrop, and then me, getting up and dancing wildly with Martians, robots and droids, until gone midnight, while Darth Vader (made of cake!) was cut and distributed to the crowd. I was really alive! 53 years on this earth and The Danse Society took me into another world! Helen Birmingham Scarborough
Hello,
Well, a huge thank-you goes to everyone at your paper for the wonderful publicity you gave Queen Street Players for our panto last month. The panto was a big success and we feel the publicity helped enormously, so we are very grateful. We are meeting to decide where to give the profits to. Always a lively meeting with lots of different ideas coming forward. I would like to ask for your help again now with publicity for a special fundraising concert to be held at Queen Street Methodist Central Hall on Saturday 25 April at 7.30pm. The concert, entitled The Musicals and More, will be given by James Aconley. He is bringing with him Rebekah Kelly, Polly Aconley and Katy Rattigan as guests. This is a rare opportunity to see James performing live in concert as he now is the director of two Pauline Quirke academies and works tirelessly within the YMCA, passing along his talent and enthusiasm to many local youngsters. n Tickets can be ordered by ringing me on 583034.

Dear Editor,
I’ve had my issues with Scarborough Hospital over the years as I know a lot of people have. However, right from being taken through to A&E to ACU and Beech Ward recently due to illness, I think they’ve been fantastic. I saw how demanding it was for staff and I didn’t meet one member of medical staff who snapped or didn’t take the time to listen. Once I’d explained my M.E they were as accommodating as they could be and helped make my environment less over stimulating. It’s a huge improvement in lots of ways and I can’t thank them enough.

From Green Hedges to Guyana By Krystal Starkey
Data to detect fraud across the Borough
NEW software purchased by Scarborough Borough Council is being used to develop a data hub to combat fraud across the borough. Following a successful funding bid to the Department for Communities and Local Government, the council was awarded £169,500 to fund the ‘Fraud Hub’ for a two year pilot. The hub aims to reduce a number of different types of fraud, including council tax, NNDR (business rates), tenancy, right to buy, employment and procurement. To support a culture of shared data analysis, the council, together with Yorkshire Coast Homes, other housing partners, North Yorkshire Police, Scarborough and Ryedale Clinical Commissioning Group and the Safer Communities team, will each upload the data they hold to the Fraud Hub. This information can then be cross checked to give an improved picture of areas and individuals. Tackling tenancy fraud is a key target for the council and housing providers and it is hoped that the hub will increase the ability to recover social housing stock more quickly from those who have claimed it dishonestly so it can be re-let to people in real need. Alison Johnson, Scarborough Borough Council Audit Manager said: “We want the hub to provide a visible, innovative and joined-up response to reassure the public that fraudulent activity is being addressed and that organisations are working more efficiently to eliminate duplication,but more importantly fill in the gaps in information that can sometimes hinder their operational effectiveness.” As well as making it easier for organisations to detect fraud, the hub will also help to combat other types of crime and address financial vulnerability.

Parents, children and staff at Green Hedges Day Nursery in Scarborough organised a Bags2School collection on Friday January 23. The purpose of the collection was to raise money for local teenager, Mary Painter. Mary is fundraising to go abroad with Project Trust to teach maths or science in a secondary school in Guyana, South America in August 2015. Carol Morley, manager of the nursery, explains that “Green Hedges is delighted to offer support and sponsorship to Mary Painter’s challenge to go to Guyana and teach in a secondary school for a year. Mary is the daughter of a member of our staff, and went to primary school with my own daughter.” Mary is currently studying for her A Levels at Scarborough Sixth Form College. As she explains “I have become very aware that I have received a privileged western education that many people do not have the opportunity to access. It is important to me that the advantages that I have received through my country of birth are not used exclusively on my future. I have the knowledge and confidence to pass on some of the education that I have received which can play a part in enabling others with fewer educational advantages to broaden their horizons and potentially enter a more secure future.” Mary was selected to teach in Guyana
after a rigorous selection process by Project Trust, and needs to raise £5,900 towards the community project. “I am very grateful for the support I have already received from various members of the community and local companies as well as my friends and
family and have, so far, raised in the region of £4,500 towards my initial target,” Mary added. n Donations can be made by visiting uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MaryPainter or by email mgpainter29@gmail.com
Success for young pop-covers duo Words and photo by Dave Barry

A talented young pop-covers duo has been celebrating after winning the first round of an open-mic competition in Sheffield. Two Tones, who sing the songs of Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Michael Jackson, Stone Roses, and more, now go forward to the second round of Open Mic UK on 19 April. Kirsty McKinlay and Beth Harrop have been perfecting their craft with gigs at Mojo’s, Coastival, the West Riding and the recent sci-fi event at the Spa.
Red carpet for visitors Words and photo by Dave Barry Seven Japanese science students were given the red-carpet treatment when they visited Scarborough’s town hall. Mayor Pat Marsburg gave the teenagers a conducted tour of the municipal building and served them hot drinks and biscuits. Students from Ochanomizu university, Tokyo’s equivalent of Oxbridge, travel to Hull University’s Scarborough campus each year to improve their English.
“They worked with our Centre for Environmental and Marine Sciences for five weeks,” said marketing and communications manager Joanne Parker. “They made friends with the other students and enjoyed cultural trips to York, London and Edinburgh as well as local sights. “The university has a proud history of hosting international students and we always enjoy hosting the Japanese contingent as they always have a really positive time,” said Joanne.
They are pictured at Indigo Alley, which has rebooked them for 18 April - the night before they return to Sheffield. At Indigo, they were supported by another duo, Sleeping Secrets. Nathan Firth and Haydn Young have also reached the second round of the competition. Two Tones have been booked to play at Staxtonbury in July and are playing at the Londesborough in Bridlington on 3 April. Kirsty, 19, and Beth, 16, met on a threeyear music course at the Yorkshire Coast College, at its Westwood campus.
The students are pictured at the town hall with the mayor, centre, and two tutors.

Fun of the fair returning to Scalby
Who’s that girl? By Nicolette Haresign Staff at Scarborough Art Gallery are keen to track down their ‘poster girl’ for a new exhibition tracing the town’s history as a holiday resort through vintage photographs. Seaside Snaps can be seen at the Gallery from March 28 to June 21. It features photographs of the town’s holiday industry dating back to around the 1860s, and its curators, Collections Manager Jennifer Dunne and Collections Assistant Julie Baxter, selected a black and white image for the publicity leaflets and poster, of a little girl holding aloft a beach ball on the beach near the Grand Hotel on Scarborough’s South Bay. Jennifer says: “This lovely picture of a little dark-haired girl on the beach pretty much sums up the fun of a seaside holiday. We think it was probably taken in the early 1960s, which means she’ll be in her 50s now. We’d love to hear from her.” Other photographs in the

Where there’s a will...
Making a will is a great way to make sure your affairs will be set in order should the worst happen. However, if you are thinking of seeing a solicitor to get a simple will drafted, doing so at Saint Catherine’s Hospice’s Make a Will Week will also mean a lot more people benefit as well. The fundraising week, which will run from 20 April, will see several solicitors from all over the area coming to offer their legal expertise for free. All that is asked is that people going to get a will drafted should leave a donation of £90 for a single will, or £160 for a joint will, to the hospice to help with the ongoing cost of providing care to their residents. n For more details about the appeal, and for names of all the firms taking part, contact Saint Catherine’s fundraising team on 01723 378406.

Students to cover lighthouse with scarves Words and photo by Dave Barry Art students are to drape a giant scarf around the lighthouse to raise money for Scarborough RNLI. The wacky project is the brainchild of eight full-time fine-art students at the Yorkshire Coast College’s Westwood campus. They are appealing for individuals and groups to donate knitted, crocheted or decorated scarves. The scarves will be joined up and hung on the lighthouse from 9-12 May. Afterwards, they will be washed and sold, in aid of the lifeboat. “We hope to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by coastal communities around the country as a whole, with the focus being here in North Yorkshire,” says spokesperson Vicky Millson. “We are aware of the harsh conditions that people working at or by the sea face on a day-to-day basis and would like to create an art installation to highlight this,” Vicky says. “Our idea is to collect knitted and decorated scarves from people and groups across the country and join them together to make a giant scarf to wrap around the lighthouse. “This would act as a symbol of unity, warmth and security, in stark contrast to the cold, harsh and dangerous realities faced by the sea-faring community on a daily basis,” says Vicky. “With each scarf donated, we will be asking people to donate a story - a little snippet about themselves or their relatives and their experiences of living by or working on the sea. “They may wish to decorate the scarves with their story. Images of the scarves and their stories will be collected on a Facebook page so they can be shared with everyone else. Printed copies could be made available to those not on Facebook.” The Facebook page is called lighthouseprojectscarborough. Besides Vicky, the students are Rose Nelson, Jacey Scott, Camilla Wroot, Diane Todd, Gill Elliott, Gerard Domanski and Krystian Domanski. Scarves and stories can be left at the campus on weekdays and at Chill on the Foreshore at weekends, before 20 April.
A wintry shock run! Run! Duck, get to cover, get out of this town. Flash, boom, stress, cries, adrenaline, stalling, go cold. Light house, the Royal Hotel, the Grand Hotel, Castle with no chance. Families forever apart with life and death. Sandbags heavy but ideal, stop the enemy from entering the town? Century on a watching feeling cold wind freely blowing just ruins of the castle overlooking the North Sea. Once full of a bombardment now just a peaceful ocean. Chilly, set in mother nature, why cold this evening? Footstep, footstep spin round, no-one, wait a shadow blink again, open book, mistake writing gone, a detailed pencil drawing. Horror, spookiness, shiver. Why now? The sea, little boy, little boy, so young, so lost. Bandage on head, concealing left eye, blood trickle on the right, old Victorian clothing, just standing, no voice, a dusty child. Scream! Loud! Running. Close eyes, hands over ears. Morning library World War one please. Photographs, details and facts, victims, why boy in Castle hide in darkness, screaming? Why present? Wykeham Street? Photos magnifying glass just rubble, locals on the scene, insecure flooring not even safe to walk on. Little boy? What is it? What? Don’t understand. Boy pointing, to where...No 8? The Crescent? Walking on the street, difficult to point out, photo, not much help, up, down looking, patience thinning, just want it over. The garden, deathly black railings and shadows. How all hairs stand up, coldness how it seeps in, want to run, but fixed feet, heart rate shot up, fight black out, fight black out. Little boy? Boy just looks back, why here? Why not the lighthouse or the Royal Hotel or the Grand Hotel, they were victims of the 1914 bombardment as well. Look at building? Point! Point! Look right, look right the different stone work, photo relapse. Shock, fear, uncertainty. Buzz, door opens, coming through up stairs second floor, dampness? Trapped spirit. Heart racing mobile, no, frozen emotion window, garden Where boy are you? Open? Smile, thank you, up, up and up. All together. Friend and Calibra okay?

Expanding micro-brewery says “Cheers, m’dears!”
18 - Scarborough Review, April - Issue 20
Words and photos by Dave Barry
“Your beer’s too good just to have it on your doorstep.” Denzil Vallance, who runs the Great Heck brewery near Selby, was talking to his friend Stuart Neilson, of Scarborough’s North Riding brew-pub, last year. Denzil reckoned Stuart’s production of beer, brewed in the pub cellar, had reached a tipping point: level off at current output or expand. Since the idea was sown in the middle of last year, Stuart and business partner Adrian Tonge have been fermenting plans to branch out. They have acquired and adapted a large (1,200 sq ft) unit resembling a green Dutch barn at Betton business park in East Ayton. A team of specialists has installed a hot liquor tank, a mashtun and a kettle (all pine-clad) and three stainless-steel fermenting tanks. The North Riding Brewery will produce four core beers - Bramling Gold, Cascade Pale, Mosaic Pale and Citra Pale - plus monthly specials. Stuart’s popular Peasholm pale and Fat Lads Mild will continue to be brewed at the pub. With the encouragement of Denzil and
several other brewer friends, Stuart felt the expansion into commercial brewing was logical. “It’s the next step up,” he explains. “We can brew thirty 36-gallon brewer’s barrels a week here, compared to six at the pub.” Stuart and Adrian intend to develop their existing customer base in Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, York, and so on, to sell ale throughout the North of England. “We hope to be up to full capacity within three years,” Stuart says. Sales will no doubt be boosted by the growing number of awards which Stuart’s beers have won. “Our Equinox has just been voted best beer at the Leeds Camra weekend, one of the country’s major beer festivals,” he says. Camra is the Campaign for Real Ale. Another feather in the North Riding’s cap came when the pub won Camra’s star prize for the town pub of the year for the 10th time.

Richard III’s charter for Scarborough goes on display at Scarborough Art Gallery By Krystal Starkey A rare document bearing the seal of King Richard III is to go on display at Scarborough Art Gallery to coincide with the reinterment of his remains at Leicester Cathedral this month. Richard’s charter for Scarborough is dated 8 April 1485. Richard later died at Bosworth on 22 August 1485. The document effectively granted the town and its surrounding area the right to become an independent county. After Richard III’s death, Henry VII refused to recognise the charter, so it was never enacted. The original vellum charter, including Richard’s seal is now very fragile and protected by museum wax. SMT Collections Manager Jennifer Dunne says: “The charter is 530 years old, and is obviously a very precious and fragile object, so is usually kept in controlled storage. “But Richard III had strong connections to, and great affection for, Scarborough – it felt right to mark his reinterment by allowing people the rare chance to see this fascinating document.” n Entry to the gallery is £3. For further information call 01723 374753.

Sci-Fi Scarborough reaches new limits
20 - Scarborough Review, April - Issue 20
Words & pictures by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
SCI-FI Scarborough proved to be out of this world when it rolled into town at the Spa Complex. Huge audiences enjoyed everything from brilliant exhibitions to live music and films all spread out around the complex over two days. Guest appearances came from the likes of Danny John-Jules of Red Dwarf fame and Darth Vader himself David Prowse. One of the event organisers, Steve Dickinson, said: “It was an absolutely fantastic weekend enjoyed by many and there was so much to see and do. “The atmosphere was spot on with everyone in it together. You could see how
Alien and the Colonial Marine join forces to obliterate the press!

Sowing the Seeds of Success...
GREEN-fingered gardeners everywhere spend the early spring months checking daily weather forecasts to see when seed sowing in the garden can start in earnest. 2015 has been a particularly difficult spring as it has been very slow to warm up. Odd warm days of sunshine have given us a false sense of security only to find we are back to dull and cold conditions in no time at all. However, in the Muck and Magic garden, there is no time like the present and seed sowing is in full swing. The Head Gardener is using the greenhouse to bring seedlings on prior to planting out in the veg plot and garden and the benches are heaving with pots and seed trays. Beetroot seeds have been sown in plug trays and have germinated in about five days. We will
keep them under cover until they are established and growing away before hardening them off and planting them out in the veg garden in two or three weeks’ time. Sweet corn, parsley and Swiss chard have also been sown and are doing nicely. The under gardener has sown this year’s batch of tomato seeds and we have chosen a cherry variety that will do well in baskets or containers. It’s a good time to start sowing your annuals for summer bedding and plants such as lobelia and petunias will romp away. Even if you haven’t got a green house or a conservatory, try some pots on the kitchen window sill. This spring the All Muck and Magic Gardeners are throwing down the gauntlet, or in this case the gardening glove, and challenging the
gardening public to grow the largest pumpkin or the tallest sunflower you can. Can you beat the experts?
Champion growers will be crowned in September at the All Muck and Magic Garden Awards presentation evening so there is plenty of time to work your own kind of horticultural magic and see what you can do. If you want to enter the competition or need further details send an email to: allmuckandmagic @hotmail.co.uk Happy gardening!
Scarborough Strata by Will Watts
Last month we looked at a group of fossils that have become synonymous with the Yorkshire Coast. Dinosaur footprints. Another group of fossils that have helped make the coastline famous are the ammonites. Indeed if you asked many people to draw or describe a fossil many would choose the spiral shape of these now extinct marine creatures. Whilst ammonites died out at the same time as the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago, palaeontologists are able to be very confident about what they might have looked like, not least as we have a close relative alive today in the form of the nautilus, which can ben seen at
Scarborough Sealife Centre.
Whitby town crest.
As ammonites were marine creatures their fossils can be found in any rocks deposited at the bottom of oceans, in our part of the world that includes the limestones around Scarborough and the black shales found at Whitby. Whitby has a very close link with the ammonites, with the legend of St Hilda petrifying the snakes that plagued the Abbey forming the coiled snakestones found in the cliffs and on the foreshore. It is still possible to buy Whitby ammonites with a carved snake’s head, and St Hilda has an ammonite named after her, Hildoceras, and to this day ammonites feature in the
The fact that ammonites were so common during their heyday during the reign of the dinosaurs, called the Mesozoic, and the fact that each species only lasted a short period of geological time, perhaps one million years or so, means that they have been used to correlate rocks all around the world. This science of stratigraphy was developed by William Smith who went on to become known as the Father of English Geology and designed the Rotunda Museum.
Smith carried out his work the length and breadth of England and would have seen ammonites like those pictured. They are still one of the most common fossils found on our coastline (even if only in fragments), and our guided fossil hunting walks are starting again at Easter, for all the details visit www.hiddenhorizons. co.uk and you too might find your very own Jurassic snakestone.

Yorkshire Coast Homes Sports Bursary Makes First Funding Award A 17 year old runner from Driffield has become the first local athlete to benefit from the Yorkshire Coast Homes Sports Bursary Scheme. TARA Coleman, member of Scarborough Athletic Club was awarded £100 to help towards her travel costs by Scarborough Coast Homes. Tara said: “I think the YCH Sports Bursary Scheme is a great idea” “There are a lot of people who don’t have training facilities near to where they live so they have to travel to take part in sporting activities. The expense can sometimes prevent people from enjoying sport” She added. The Yorkshire Coast Homes Sports Bursary Scheme was launched to provide funding support for people within communities who may be excluded from sporting activities for reasons of cost. The objective of the YCH Bursary Scheme is to provide support to those who are
prevented from achieving these objectives, due to their personal financial limitations. Shaun Tymon, Yorkshire Coast Homes Chief Executive said, “This award to Tara is a good illustration of the prime objective of the YCH Sports Bursary Scheme. If travel costs are making it difficult for this talented young athlete to make progress in her sport then we’re very happy to provide some support that will enable her to continue her training”. Yorkshire Coast Homes also provide paid for services such as Coastcall, a support service that enables elderly or vulnerable people to remain in their homes as long as possible. It provides peace of mind with the knowledge that 24 hour response and support is available at the touch of an emergency button. The service comes in three different levels and is tailored to each individual’s needs. n For more information on bursaries or Coastcall visit www.ych.org.uk

Scarborough man John is a worldwide success story
Boro Biography by Pete Spence
JOHN Ellard, a BottomEnder from Scarborough has had a very exciting and interesting life around the world. John, who went to Friarage infant and junior school, Westwood CM and Scarborough Technical College, emigrated to Australia in 1969. He worked in a number of industries including iron ore mining, fashion, and oil and gas, and John was the Human Resource Manager of one of Australia’s leading oil and gas producers. During his time in Australia he lived and worked in Perth, and Melbourne. He has three grown up daughters, one who lives in Perth and two who live in Melbourne. One of his daughters is the event manager for Formula 1 Australia. During his younger days in Australia John played football for Perth City in the West Australian second division and ‘B’ grade cricket for Mellville. During 1976 John spent some time in South Africa and the then Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) before returning to Perth. John was part of a team who recovered a major section of Skylab, the US satellite that crashed to earth in West Australia in 1979. He went to San Francisco with the team, raising money for a local community in outback, WA. It was there he met Les Garland who later went on to create MTV. Interestingly John met a Swedish girl, Birgitta in Scarborough in 1966. During that time many Swedes visited Scarborough and other English resorts to study English and to learn a little about the culture. In 1988 John contacted Birgitta by phone to Sweden after he had separated
John with Les Garland (Radio KFRC San Francisco and later the founder of MTV) at San Francisco Airport 1979 with a Skylab oxygen tank behind them
from his Australian wife. Birgitta had just got divorced from her husband and so Birgitta then visited John in Australia and John reciprocated the visit to see her in Sweden some months later. They decided to be together and John moved to Sweden in 1990, marrying on an iced over lake in central Sweden in 1994. Since arriving in Sweden, John has successfully managed and led an Education Company and in the mid 1990s started his own international training and consulting company. After 15 successful years he sold that company and now operates a new company, ECG AB, which provides training and consulting services to Politicians and Senior Executives as well as provides opportunities for international linking and cooperation at government level. John has visited Scarborough with groups of Swedish politicians and executives looking at some of the developments in the UK in many areas of government services and business growth areas. He is a keen amateur photographer and is looking to retire soon to spend more time on this great hobby. John said: “What I would like is to travel John in 1979 with a piece of the world photographing Skylab, the US satellite that crashed to earth in Western some of the Australia wonderful diverse nature we have and I would dearly love to spend more time visiting my old home town of Scarborough. I keep in touch with a number of school friends and have had good Aged just 12, John receives contact with a brand new bike he won in a them over the competition years.”
Yorkshire judges heading to Newby & Scalby by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk THE Yorkshire In Bloom judges will be making their spring visit to inspect the work of Newby & Scalby in Bloom on Wednesday April 15. The group hold their breath hoping for another Silver Gilt award or even a Gold if their efforts please the judges enough. The group put in an all-year round effort to plant and maintain beds and planters, engage with schools and the elderly and also carry out litter picking. They stage a Spring Plant sale and a Summer Produce Show. Every year Newby & Scalby in Bloom try to extend their planting and this year are creating a bee and butterfly friendly bed near Church Becks in Scalby.

Cyclists compete in Go Ride event at Filey Words and photos by Dave Barry Budding Bradley Wigginses and Victoria Pendletons competed in a cycling event in Filey recently. Entrants were introduced to competitive racing while having fun and learning new skills. The 31 youngsters aged 3-15 hailed from Filey, Scarborough, Cayton, Malton, Yarm and Guisborough. Organised by Richardsons Cycle Club of Scarborough, the Go Ride event was staged at Filey’s Country Park. The under-6 age group lined up at the start with riders looking nervous. As Orla Rae was on a balance bike with no pedals, she was given a head start which she capitalised on and shot off. But she was closed down in the final few yards as the chasing pack caught up near the finish line. Florence Levell won. The under-8s set off with Ryan Macalysee taking the win from Filey’s Tom Eblet and Edward Hall taking third in the first of their two races. Tom won the second under-8s race, with Ryan second. The winners of the first three places in two races for under-10s were identical: Ozzy Stringer was first, followed by Saul Bateman and Will Butterworth. Riders in the under-12 and under-14 categories were set off together while competing for the class positions with first one lap then two laps of the course, which had cyclo-cross-style obstacles and planks to negotiate.
Under-12s winner Harry Butterworth was chased by Dalby’s Joe Prole. The under-14s was a girls-only race with Filey rider Megan Simpson taking two wins from Maya St Perre and Jasmine Roper. The adults’ events were races for women and men on grass and tracks, and a crosscountry race. Prizes were donated by Filey Tourism Association, Cube Bikes and British Cycling, which had approved the event. The next local Go Ride event will be at Oliver’s Mount in Scarborough on I May, the first day of Tour of Yorkshire. Sign on at 5.30pm. n For details, ring organiser Bryden Simpson on 513773, (To order these photos, ring 353597).

Sale success in Staintondale
Words & Pictures by Pete Spence - pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
OVER £250 was raised as the Friends of St John the Baptist group held a jumble sale at Staintondale Village Hall. The group was set up in 2010 to raise funds in order to keep St John’s Church in Staintondale going. Group volunteer Andrea Darrington said: “It was an extremely well attended event and once again showed how much support our church has. “To say many of the items on offer were sold for £1 or a similar price, then we were delighted with the funds that we raised. St John’s Church in Staintondale “The fundraising events organised by the friends are enthusiastically supported by the community and beyond, whether church goers or not. The church is open every day throughout the year with services in the summer months. Weddings, christenings and funerals take place throughout the year also, so it is important we continue to raise money.” n If you have an event you would like our photographers to attend then please email: pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk or ring 01723 355797.

28 - Scarborough Review, April - Issue 20
by Howard Mosley-Chalk
Why let a good thing go to waste? That is the thinking behind the first ever Tour de Yorkshire, an international three-day cycling race that picks up where last year’s fantastic Grand Depart left off. We take a look at how this new race got started, and what to expect as it flies through Scarborough.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Get involved
The Tour de Yorkshire will, for the first time ever, establish our county as an internationally renowned cycling destination. From 1-3 May the race will travel through parts of Yorkshire that missed out on Grand Depart glory... including our dear seaside town of Scarborough which will see the first day of racing end here. But this race isn’t just a bunch of flat cap wearing folks leaping back onto their bikes because they had so much fun last summer; the Tour de Yorkshire has been confirmed as an official race by the sport’s governing body, the UCI, and has been jointly organised by Welcome to Yorkshire and Amuary Sport Organisation - the people behind the Tour de France (you might have heard of it).
Boost for Yorkshire But could the magic of the Grand Depart, which was watched by millions of TV viewers across the globe, and which featured an estimated three million people lining the route, be recaptured? Although the boost to Yorkshire’s economy over those two days last July as been estimated to be around £100 million, the greater impact was how the rest of the world’s impression of Yorkshire was altered. With an annual international cycle race taking place here, Yorkshire will establish itself as the spiritual home of British and European cycling. So hopes Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire: “This new official international cycle race heralds the start of a world-class event for Yorkshire that we want to see grow over the coming years to become known the world over. We already have a huge amount of interest thanks to the Yorkshire Grand Départ, which captured the imagination of millions of people globally – and the Tour de Yorkshire will be a fitting legacy. We’re confident that come May, we’ll deliver something very special.””
Approval won But don’t just take a local lad’s word for it, as Christian Prudhomme, Director of the Tour de France, seems to be very excited about the race: “After the grandest of Grand Départs of the Tour de France, we were keen to return to Yorkshire. With its stunning landscapes, iconic cities and tough climbs, Yorkshire offers all the ingredients needed for a great cycling race. The welcome we received in Yorkshire in July 2014 was simply spectacular and I am very much looking forward to returning there in May for the Tour de Yorkshire”. n Find out more about the three-day race at www.letour. yorkshire.com, follow them on Twitter for updates (@ letouryorkshire), and like their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/LeTourYorkshire
But you don’t just have to be a world-class cycling athlete to take part in the Tour de Yorkshire. Accompanying stage three of the race, which will take place between Wakefield and Leeds, cyclists are being encouraged to join the Tour de Yorkshire Ride, a mass participation bike ride which take place on part of the route on the same day as the event. Also, on day two in York there will be a women’s race taking place, in an attempt to get more women on their bikes.
Our day in the sun Scarborough will take a leading role in the race on Day One when the race will end here, after starting in Bridlington and winding throughout the North York Moors. Although the trip between Bridlington and Scarborough doesn’t sound like a lot of effort, the route actually sweeps inland to pass through Dalby Forest, Pickering and Rosedale Abbey. After that it will tour the moors to hit Grosmont, head north to Whitby, then venture down the coast towards us, passing through Robin Hood’s bay on the way. In all, the distance the cyclists will pedal is a whopping 174km (or 108 miles in old money)! Once in Scarborough, the peloton will enter the town along the A165, heading south. It will then turn onto the B1364 Peasholme Road before entering the town centre (get ready to wave at all the cameras and helicopters). The route then follows Aberdeen Walk before passing over to Vernon Road. It will then turn toward the shoreline at the roundabout, passing under Spa Bridge, and turning left onto the seafront. At this point maybe the cyclists will stop for an ice cream or perhaps some fish and chips, but we’re guessing they will power on around the headland on Marine Drive, passing under the shadow of the castle, before hitting Royal Albert Drive. The race will finally come to a stop (until the next day, at least) in the North Bay. Prepare for a sprint finish! n For a more details look of the route on a map, visit www.letour. yorkshire.com
But closer to home we have our own mass-participation race on Day Once. Taking place on the route that passes through Dalby Forest, the Tour de Dalby Sportive is set to be a circular 10km fun ride over the traffic-calmed forest drive – just hours before the peloton blazes right by. Participants can not only enjoy riding a part of the official route on the same day as the Tour, but they can also join the ride of 11 miles back to Scarborough in time to see the race reach the finish line. With parking, toilets and a children’s play area, this is perfect way to experience the Tour de Yorkshire. n Sign yourself up at www.dalbybikebarn.co.uk

The Yorkshire Hunter God would answer our prayers. We had been stunned witnesses to the Edgehill boy sprawled out on the canvas after being senselessly sent out by his corner to contest the final round, exhausted, battered, already beaten.
The Yorkshire Hunter’s pursuit of a rematch with his nemesis Naseem Hamed and a payday that financially would set him up for life thank you very much had driven those around him on – way past Paul’s breaking point as it turned out.
THERE’S a line you may be familiar with from the opening of A Tale of Two Cities. ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . .’ wrote Charles Dickens. It certainly was. For six unforgettable years, there were glorious, happy, adrenaline-fuelled exciting times. I was fortunate to cover the rise of Paul Ingle for Scarborough’s then evening paper. It was my privilege. I couldn’t wait each day to get into the office and pen the latest story about Scarborough’s favourite son. That chapter in my life had already closed, however, when as a fan I was at ringside for another evening that proved to be as unexpected as it was shocking, tragic, and heart-breaking. The darkest of times. Paul lost a fight – he almost lost his life. All the highs from his amateur days and then a pro career that had taken him to world title were at that moment suddenly rendered meaningless, irrelevant. The only thing that mattered on the night he defended his title against Mbulelo Botile in Sheffield was that
Looking back from a distance of 15 years of course the main thing now is that thanks to the skill of doctors and nurses in Sheffield, and the love and support of Paul’s incredible family headed by Carol, his mum, he survived the clot on his brain and lived to tell the tale back in his beloved Scarborough. That tale is about to told in full soon as, thanks to journalist Paul Zanon ghostwriting his autobiography, the boxer will reveal all the highs and lows of the sport he loved and which defined him. It promises to be a fascinating read.
victory.
As we approached the station on a Bank Holiday train, Paul – who had to stand most of the journey from York as the train was so crowded (so much for being a world champion!) – passed the remark that you could keep your view of the State of Liberty. It was the sight of the Oliver’s Mount war memorial that meant much more, so much more to him. After ‘stuffing it up the Americans’ as he put it, he was back home. Where his heart was; where he was happiest. I was also happy as I watched the champion step off the train, obviously tired with his journey home but full of elation and justifiable pride at his achievement. But as I did so, I wondered how much better this fighting journey was going to get . . . and where next this story would take us. Another clash with Naz perhaps on the horizon – revenge, possibly, financial security, more than likely. More glory, hopefully. Yet seven months on from that day the glory had gone for good.
It is being released at the end of next month to coincide with the 15th anniversary of Paul’s successful defence of his world title against ‘Poison’ Junior Jones at the spiritual home of world boxing, Madison Square Garden, New York – April 29, 2000.
There wouldn’t be another moneyspinning fight with Hamed; there wouldn’t be another ring battle at all. The little man’s career had collapsed. It had crashed following a blur of leather during that fateful final round. Paul’s last as a professional boxer.
It was a glorious triumph. There are so many fond memories from what was a crazy few days in the Big Apple, not the least of them was the fight itself of course and how Paul wowed the watching payper-view audience, climbing off the canvas in the ninth round to brilliantly take apart the American in his home town over the next four minutes to retain his IBF title with a stoppage win.
I was heading back to Scarborough again. Such a difficult journey this time. My eyes were full of tears and I drove, alone, through the Yorkshire Wolds, heading through Howden-Upon-Spalding Moor and on towards Driffield, almost at midnight, stunned, traumatised, at a loss to understand quite what had led to the tragedy that had unfolded before my eyes.
But for me, one memory stands head and shoulders above the rest. It came not in Manhattan but as Paul was almost back in Scarborough, two days after his
Scarborough Review, April - Issue 20 31
How this story would end, I wondered, as the headline news at midnight on Radio Five Live was blanket coverage about Paul. A reporter outside the Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, where our little champion had been taken before being transferred, said the boxer’s life was under threat. When I arrived back in Scarborough the place seemed even quieter than it normally was at that time of night. It seemed liked most of the town had been watching the fight. No doubt Paul’s supporters had been raucous in their support in the bars and clubs and at home. After all Christmas was looming large and the fight and a victory was meant to really get the parties started wasn’t it? But there were no parties now. Now there was only silence. I couldn’t even hear the waves lapping on the shore as normally I could from my garden flat on the Esplanade. I can’t speak for the rest of the town but I couldn’t sleep. I prayed for the little chap I had come to know and admire, who was more than just somebody I covered as a professional writer, but who was a friend. Those days were the worst of times. Goodness knows what Paul’s family went through. Christmas and New Year came and went and slowly, so slowly, the news and Paul improved. As all national newspapers argued over boxing’s safety and its place in the sporting world, at
least we could join in the debate knowing that Paul had a future, though not as any of us might have predicted only a few, short months earlier. At that time I left Scarborough. Work and a wife took me elsewhere. But over the years the memories of watching a tremendous athlete – and a true sportsman – never left me. Through the fog of time, it is still not hard to be at ringside with Paul at some of his greatest triumphs. There are many to reflect on. His world title victory against Manuel Medina in Hull will not leave me. New York won’t, of course, as well as the times earlier in his career when I was left scurrying across London to catch the last late-night tube back to my hotel after watching the Scarborian in the East End, climbing another step up the ladder, with victory on some low-key bill. Yet I want to finish in early 1996. Paul lifted the British featherweight title to really announce his presence in the big time. He beat aging champion Colin McMillan at Bethnal Green, not far from West Ham’s football ground, in front of arguably the most knowledgeable boxing crowd in Britain. Quite how he threw the number of punches in that fight goodness only knows – amazingly well over 100 each round. But Paul did and his relentless assault eventually eroded the will and defence of a fine, former world champion in McMillian over eight terrific rounds that brought the house down. The fight made the hairs on the back of your neck stand. It had Sky TV purring that they had found a ‘star’. Paul spread his arms aloft in triumph, his trainer Steve Pollard rushed in, as did cockney manager Frank Maloney. But our man’s first thoughts were the health of his opponent he had just dethroned, and who lay exhausted, battered, beaten onto the canvas, propped up only by the bottom rope. There was concern on Paul’s face as he bent over to see how McMillan was. That worry fortunately soon turned to relief a short time later when McMillan climbed back on to his feet and waved to the crowd. You see, that was the kind of boy Paul Ingle was - and the man and champion he was to become. That is why, way beyond all his qualities and his talents as a fighter, and the prizes he later won, I admired him as a gracious, friendly and likeable human being. Scarborough’s finest. You bet.

Tales from the cooler water by Steve Crawfod www.fluidconcept.co.uk
We’ve had a very interesting month environmentally, so I’m going to divert from my normal chat about how we affect our environment and move to how our environment affects us. We’ve been treated to quite a few very rare events this month and many of us who wouldn’t normally notice the environment have been touched by the changing world around us. Certainly the most profound was the solar eclipse - there is something humbling about witnessing the sun slowly withdraw behind the moon, to return unscathed a short time later. With our knowledge and communication we now understand the mechanics of the eclipse, can watch it on TV and the internet and we are pretty certain that it no longer signifies the end of the world. It makes me think of the fear that it used to invoke in times when we were less educated. This week the town
was filled with people looking skywards and waiting for the instant when the light dimmed and we were sat in the curious twilight for a few moments, the air was cooler and everyone took a quiet breath. We also had one of the biggest solar storms in decades and some of us - not me, I ended up looking at a cloudy sky for around 3 hours ( I’m an aurora jinx) - got to see the Northern Lights in all their glory. It is very rare to see them south of the Arctic Circle and this time they were seen as far south as Northern France. On top of all this we had the biggest tide in 20 years, the Spring Equinox and, finally we are moving into the warmer months of spring, leaving behind the long cold months of winter behind and starting to look forward to summer. So it’s a good time to take stock, remember why we care about the environment and hopefully do a little bit more to protect what we have. It’s easy to

Spa concert by tenor and choir sells out
Words by Dave Barry
A Scarborough choir was in fine voice when it was asked to sing with Russell Watson at the Spa. The top tenor recruited Graham Community Choir to accompany him at a sell-out concert. “Russell was charm itself with the choir and set everyone at ease with a fun rehearsal, despite the challenging nature of the music,” said choir conductor Bill Scott. “The concert was excellent,” said Mr Scott. “Russell is a versatile and talented singer.” The day after the show, Russell tweeted: “I had a fantastic night. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!” A few days later, Mr Scott received another message from one of the tenor’s crew. It read: “Russell and the team have asked me to email on their behalf to say thank you so much for your performance. They wanted to pass on their thanks for your professionalism and enthusiasm on the night.” Choir member Lesley Machen added: “Everyone - audience and choir members - enjoyed it so much. The cliff lift was running on adrenalin!” The choir excelled themselves in the difficult arrangement of Va Penseiro, take all we have for granted and not notice the everyday things around us, so these big events remind us of how amazing the world around us is and how we fit into it. There are so many little changes we all can make, from how much water we use to the things we buy, that can subtly change the world we live in for the better. In the
Russell Watson performed in four parts with accuracy and style. The Toreador song was enthusiastically performed while the tricky chorus entries of Nessun Dorma were carefully negotiated by Mr Scott. The performance ended with the choir performing the inspiring song You Raise Me Up, providing a suitable finale to a wonderful experience. Mr Scott said: “The choir were delighted to have the opportunity to perform with Russell and honoured that he has asked them to perform with him again should his autumn tour bring him back into the area.” A week later, the choir teamed up with the Sandside Orchestra for their annual joint concert. It was in aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance. challenge to keep our world happily ticking over it’s not just the big acts that keep it going, it can be the small acts of many people together that often count for more.

Great reception for new Americana trio Words and photo by Dave Barry
A rammed-to-bursting Merchant greeted the debut of new Americana trio American Echoes. Jesse Hutchinson, Sean Conroy and Joe Thornton accompanied their high-octane blend of bluegrass, alt.country and rock ‘n’ roll covers with much whoopin’ and hollerin’. The hirsute, adrenaline-fuelled trio whipped through the material they’d been rehearsing for the last few months in double-quick time, leaving them with a dilemma – what else to play. No problem. To the audience’s delight, they simply zipped through it all again, but this time at a pace short of breakneck. And they threw in a few numbers from previous bands, including Ishka, Buffalo Skinners and Alabama Paydirt. We were treated to a lot of Old Crow Medicine Show plus great songs by others. The set included Alabama High-Test, Brushy Mountain, Next Go Round,

Top test ahead for Boro by Will Baines
WITH just seven games to go in the EvoStik First Division North, Scarborough Athletic have continued to pick up points throughout March, but will have to beat the top sides in the league to secure a play-off place at the end of April. A goalless draw against Lancaster City in late February kept Boro in the play-off race, but the Dolly Blues will wonder how they did not have this game won in the first half. Boro defender Danny Wilkinson nearly put through his own net early on when his miscued clearance struck the bar, before Dolly Blue’s striker Matty Poole hit the post then saw his goalbound effort cleared off the line by Ben Middleton.
as Alex Metcalfe lifted over on the halfvolley from the edge of the area.
After fighting to stay in the game, it looked like the home side were set to take the lead as they were awarded a penalty on 69 minutes after Alex Metcalfe tripped Kieran Pickup in the box. After a short delay Cracknell saved his side by producing a fantastic block, diving low to his left to push the ball away from goal with both hands to secure a point for the Seadogs.
The home side improved after the break, with Tom Corner dragging a volley wide before sub Cameron Murray shot straight at Lancaster keeper Michael Hall from eight yards. Ryan Blott nearly stole the win for the Seadogs in the last minute, but he failed to find the target from eight yards out.
A must win game against Radcliffe Borough at Queensgate saw Boro triumph 2-0, with Tom Corner scoring one in each half to help his side to three crucial points. Corner’s first strike saw him race clear thanks to a superb through ball from Pete Davidson, before slotting past Radcliffe keeper Chris Cheetham. Corner then doubled the lead when slamming in from an acute angle just after the break, but the striker was denied a hat trick due to a fine double save by Cheetham, as the Radcliffe keeper prevented Boro from running away with it.
Boro then travelled to high flying Bamber Bridge, delivering a resolute display to pick up another point. The first half was a tight affair with both sides cagey going forwards and keen to avoid mistakes at the back. Brig defender Chris Marlow had the first chance as he crashed a fierce shot at goal, forcing Athletic keeper Joe Cracknell to palm over the bar. The action soon switched to the other end
A midweek game against Farsley produced a fiery encounter, with Boro securing another point despite having to play with ten men for most of the game. Tom Corner continued his good form to give the Seadogs the lead early on as he guided the ball into the bottom corner after a Cameron Murray cross, but shortly afterwards he was then sent back to the dressing room after a straight red card for
an elbow on Farsley’s
Boro defender Ben Middleton in action against Lancaster City.
Farsley soon made the one man advantage count and equalised shortly afterwards as Adam Priestley capitalised on a static Boro defence to get in behind and flick past Cracknell. But Boro weathered the storm and retook the lead just before the break when Alex Metcalfe turned on the halfway line, before powering past two defenders to crash in and send the away supporters wild. After the break Farsley equalised through Aiden Savory, but no side could fashion a late winner. Bamber Bridge visited Queensgate just a fortnight after the 0-0 draw against Boro, but this time they proved too strong for Athletic and ended up winning 2-1. Kieran Pickup gave Bamber an early lead with a strike from the edge of the area, with Boro struggling to gain a foothold in the game. Cracknell had to be on top form to keep out a series of shots on goal to keep Boro within reach. The home side started to come back into it, with Tom Corner heading over twice in quick succession, but it remained 1-0 at the break. Disaster struck at the start of the second half when a long ball forwards caused confusion between Dean Lisles and Joe Cracknell, allowing Darren Green to nip in to extend Bamber’s lead. Boro struggled to test the Bamber defence and despite a late Ryan Blott header to make it 2-1, Bamber Bridge fully deserved the win to dent Boro’s play-off hopes.
Cameron Murray races As the season enters its final stages, Boro will have to regroup quickly from the Bamber defeat with massive games still to come before the end of April.

IT was a case of the generation game when former Boro goalkeeper Paul Robinson came out of retirement to play alongside his own son. Paul 41, and son Dane, 17, both took to the field and helped Scarborough News Saturday League second division side FC Rosette to a dramatic last-gasp 2-1 victory at Snainton, with Dane setting up the last minute winner.

Paul added: “It was a fantastic day because all the family came out to Snainton to watch including my dad Alan, mum Sandra, and wife Maxine. My daughter Zantia could not make it as she was working. “It was a day I will never forget and if I never played football again it would not matter so much now I got chance to play alongside Dane.”

You can be part of this sporting fairytale from beginner to national league - everyone is welcome with the age profile now standing at under-11s to OAPs

Under-14s hoping to reign in Spain The week-long trip to Barcelona will see the Boro juniors involved in the same competition as some of the best youth teams in the world. The Athletic Juniors have been drawn against Spanish sides Badalona and Berga, as well as Columbian side Boscos in the initial group stage. Past participants in the MIC include Lionel Messi, (FC Barcelona), Cesc Fàbregas (Chelsea) and Anderson (Internacional).
Getting into the action
Anthony added: “I am determined to build up the grass roots and claim back the sport from it increasingly only being something played by an elite minority in some parts of country. The coaches and players who represent North Riding Eagles are committed to equal opportunities for all.” This does not mean North Riding Eagles do not compete as they are a very successful club. Their youngsters won the adult national league play-offs in 2013
Some fantastic sporting memorabilia is set to be sold to the highest bidder as part of a Boro Silent Auction.
Scarborough Athletic U14s are currently in Spain competing in the prestigious MIC Cup.
It had taken Scarborough Districts excellent Sports Development officer Matt Hewison a couple of years to pull off the coup of bringing North Riding Eagles into Scarborough but already his judgement has been proved right. North Riding Eagles Volleyball Club have been running successful community volleyball sessions up in Whitby for the last 10 years. The club specialises in developing local talent and the schools can now boast of international players.

Traf and Newlands in title race battle
Kris Tate (red kit) has been in scintillating goalscoring form for Seamer Reserves.
In the Scarborough News Sunday League first division, the title race is between reigning champions Trafalgar and the unbeaten Newlands, who trail Traf by two points but have a game in hand. Chris Dove struck a hat trick as TRAFALGAR beat Whitby Wanderers 5-1, while NEWLANDS thrashed ITIS It’IS 22-0 with both Drew McCoubrey and Stu Baker netting five goals. Newlands then lost their 100% record when drawing 3-3 with West Pier, before trouncing Klosters 11-0 in their most recent game. Luke Delve scored a treble

Club man Geoff stands the test of time with Commercial FC 46 - Scarborough Review, April - Issue 20

Quick and pacey wide man, probably the quickest player over 10 yards in the team.
FOR Commercial FC player-manager Geoff Osguthorpe it is certainly the case of being a one-club man. Geoff has been with Commercial for over a decade after it first started out as the Hungry Horse in the Scarborough News Scarborough & District Sunday League. After joining their new home of the Commercial some nine years ago, the club has settled down and become one of the mainstays of the league, and Geoff has played a key part in that. He said: “It seems quite a long time ago now that we started the team off at the Hungry Horse. It is amazing to think that the club is the third longest running in the league now and it shows how far we have come over the years. “I have to say a special thanks to Kay from the Commercial who has given us a lot of support and now to Boro Tyres who have sponsored our new training tops and kit sponsor Mike Barker. Local football teams need support in times where it is not always easy to get players signed on and interested, and we have managed to do that consistently.” There have been many highs and lows for the club over the years including a McCain Cup final victory over Spa FC several years ago, which was particularly pleasing for Geoff. He added: “During that campaign we had a lot of momentum towards the final run-in, winning our last 10 league and cup games.
Joe Bayes Centre back, strong and steady player who is very comfortable on the ball with an eye for a pass.
Shaun Bayes Left back, only started playing 11-a-side late on, now in his 30s has established himself as a regular.
“We could do with strengthening in certain areas to try and push on and become a more competitive first division outfit.” If you would like your team or club to be featured in the Scarborough Review then ring me on 07815 290457 or email: pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
Chris Rooke,
of years out of football. Scored two goals on his debut and hopefully more to come. Very skillful forward with an eye for goal.
Fullback, the oldest player. Chris has signed as cover for the last couple of years, but has made more appearances this season than in the last 10 years. Despite being in his early 40s, Chris has provided some solid commanded displays despite the tough first division he has had to play in.
Forward, can play up top or out wide. At only 18 years of age, quick with plenty of tricks and an eye for the goal, has many good years ahead of him.
Forward Luke Foster in action against Roscoe’s Bar FC
Macca Youngson
Rob Ward.
Midfielder/Forward - Macca is a very quick and skillful player who knows plenty of tricks and is one of our more creative players. He has now adapted to the physical first division demands now and has been one of our better players in 2015. Just needs to sharpen up in front of goal which would see him develop into a top player in years to come. Still only 18.
Utility - Rob, when available, has proved to be a key asset to the team. However his love for Sunderland AFC and injuries have limited his appearances over the last couple of years.
Defender/Midfield - Ox has recently signed in the new year. He has experience and is a very strong determined player who has a great range of passing.
Mike Day brings the ball down for his Commercial side.
Jamie Fowler Keeper, utility - Jamie has stepped in to help cover in goal initially but has had to play there all season. Great dependable squad player, who is also the penalty taker and never misses.
Veteran Chris Rooke launches a throw-
Dave Oxley
GEOFF OSGUTHORPE Player-manager. Been in charge from the very start some 12-13 years ago. Fills in normally in central midfield on the few occasions when the team are short to pull the strings.
“During the past seven years we have reached seven semi-finals too which is a great achievement and quite a few of our players have gone on to play for some of the bigger local teams.”
He said: “Ideally I would like someone to come in and take the team forward from the level it is at, which is a well established and organised club.
again. Always gets his body in where it hurts first.
Mike Day
“We played my mate James Prethero’s Spa side in the final of the McCain Cup and beat them, which was a very special moment.
Geoff still features from time to time in the side but his managerial role restricts his time on the pitch.

Geoff Osguthorpe (player-manager), Azza Birley, Neil Forsyth (captain), Luke Foster, Macca Youngson, Dave Oxley and Ollie Barron
Azza Birley Commercial keeper Jamie Fowler clears his lines.
Stephen Barker Utility - last year’s player of the season. Can and has had to operate in all positions with exception to goal over the last 4-5 years. Excellent team player who is used in every position when required and great skills of ball recovery.
Mike Hyde. Centre back, veteran. Been with the club for over 10 years, although in recent years has only stepped in to help when we are short, but recently become a regular once
Fullback, wide man - Sadly Azza is away at university most of the time, but when he is back has proved to be a great asset to the team and a promising young player who has a good shot on him from distance.
Neil Forsyth, Central midfield and skipper - Fozza joined in the summer and has been an important and influential player despite his young age, although he doesn’t look young. Very strong player who is comfortable on the ball and possess a good range of passing.
Luke Foster Forward - Luke has only just recently re-joined the team after having a couple
Dave Oxley takes control of the ball
Ollie Barron Utility - veteran and stalwart of the team. Injuries have limited Ollie to a handful of appearances this season but he is a very energetic colourful character on and off the pitch who has been with the club since the start and every club needs a person like Ollie.

Paterson sets out attack for final push Words & Picture by Pete Spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk
ROSCOE’S Bar FC manager Lee Paterson believes attack will be the best form of defence when his side tackle West Riding in the final of the Goal Sports Trophy on Sunday May 3 at Scarborough Rugby Club (10.30am ko). Roscoe’s have beaten Fylingdales Reserves, Alma and Cayton on penalties to reach the final of the competition and Paterson wants to make sure his charges walk away with the trophy.
James Cowton will be looking for Spring Cup success
James Neesom feels at home at Oliver’s Mount
HOT-PROSPECT Dean Harrison, the young Bradford rider, will make his first appearance with his new team MAR – Train Team machines at this year’s Spring Cup at Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough on 11tand 12 April.
International Gold Cup meeting in September.
Also Gareth Keys from Northern Ireland entered by Road Racing Ireland, will ride in three classes. James Cowton will be in the mix with his new team Danny Tomlinson Racing while other regular local competitors such as David Bell from Chesterlee Street, Rodger Wibberley from Huddersfield, Mick and Mark Goodings from Doncaster, Ivan Lintin from Bardney, Keith Pringle from Hetton le Hole, James Neesom from Bempton who again will ride in three classes, are all ready for action.
This will be Daley’s first race at the Mount since his big get-off in last September’s Gold Cup meeting where he had qualified third fastest for the feature race but crashed out along the back straight on the opening lap.
With a top number of entries this meeting looks like being as good if not better than the
Meanwhile, County Durham’s Daley Mathison is getting married on Easter Monday but will spend his honeymoon at Oliver’s Mount for the Spring Cup meeting.
He said: “We are in good form at the moment and won our last three before we beat Cayton in the semi-final. We have match winners all over the pitch including the likes of Liam
Rowley, the Hepples brothers Gary and Carl, and Graeme Farrah with his pace. “We believe our attacking options will win us the cup, we have some brilliant defenders but the style of football we try to play is very attacking and moving the ball quickly.” Roscoe’s are definitely not resting on their laurels when they face James Prethero’s charges. Paterson added: “Just to get to a final is a massive achievement but I’ve always said that’s not good enough, we have to go the whole way, first is first and second is nowhere! We will have to work hard in the final on a big pitch against a good team, but we believe in ourselves and our abilities.”
He will be riding Suzuki’s in both the Supersport and Superbike classes and is one of England’s future road racing stars. n For tickets visit ring 01723 373000 or visit: www.oliversmountracing.com or www.auto66.com Roscoe’s Bar FC manager Lee Paterson (left) is looking to the likes of Graeme Farrah (right) to perform in the final

golfing review by Derrick Arden
Treble success as North Cliff sweep up NORTH Cliff Completed a clean sweep of the three local winter alliances when they were crowned as champions of the East Riding & District of York Alliance and thereby claimed the prestigious Hull Daily Mail Challenge Bowl to finish of a highly successful 2014/2015 winter season for the Club. Having led this Alliance from Round 1 at Pike Hills in September it was no surprise that North Cliff took the title, however, they did it in a style worthy of league champions with their leading pair of Andy Allcock (2) and Alan Richardson (8) bringing in the best score of the day at Bridlington Belvedere to take the tankards with a five under par 67 edging out Hessle’s assistant professional Paul Lockwood (Scr) and amateur partner Brian Coombes (12) on a back nine count back. North Cliff ’s second counting pair of Simon Boddy (1) and Dave Ellard (7) provided superb
support finishing in joint third place both playing excellent golf to ensure the season long pacesetter’s title aspirations were never threatened. Allcock and Richardson’s win owed much to a hot finish of two under par over the last three holes with Richardson contributing a birdie two on the testing cliff top 193 yard par three 16th and Allcock rounding matters off with a timely birdie four on the last hole. Hull’s Nick Law (9) and Andrew Cooke (10) finished in a share of third place alongside Boddy and Ellard and were left to rue an inability to post par figures on holes 16th and 17th that ultimately cost them the top spot. Strong finishes in the Challenge Bowl standings saw Hornsea and Hessle finish in joint second place albeit 28t shots off the pace. Fourth place Hull can also look back on a successful season achieving their highest finish for a number of years. Speaking after
accepting the Challenge Bowl from Alliance President Nick Ludwell (Selby) North Cliff ’s Team Manager Alan Richardson was full of praise for his team saying: “We pick the team from a small nucleus of players lead by our club pro Fraser Kelley and there is a strong team spirit and a competitive edge for places. We managed to get our noses in front at Pike Hills in the season opener and thereafter were able to build a lead.” It has certainly been a season for the North Cliff club to savour, for alongside the Alliance Challenge Bowl the club also added the Scarborough & District Alliance Pennant Trophy and the Flamborough & District Rabbits League title to the clubs trophy cabinet.
Wong on song to lift Noon Cup THE North Cliff Ladies held a Stableford competition for The Noon Cup a very popular event that was well supported. The ladies were very appreciative of the benign weather conditions but nevertheless the course was playing long. Susan Wong (21) collected the Cup after a fine round when she posted 35 points. Her outward half was marred by a no score at the fourth but she still managed to reach the turn on 18 points, a composed and steady back nine produced a further 17 points. Her closest challenger was Maureen Collier (22) who, because of a sticky patch through the 5th to the 7th holes, only chalked up 15 points going out but then really got going to post an excellent 19 points coming home, unfortunately for Maureen just one point short. Other creditable scores came from Jenny Wray (22) and the lady Vice-Captain Marilyn Rennard (34) who both finished on 31 points. Both the winner and others had something to smile about when they

Alan Richardson accepts the Hull Daily Mail Bowl from Alliance President Nick Ludwell with team members John Titley, Dave Ellard & Andy Allcock looking on.
Scarborough & District competition wrapped up THE Scarborough & District Alliance ended their league fixtures at Filey where the course was in excellent condition and the weather on the day was at least reasonable and that combination along with some good play resulted in very competitive scores. The best score of the day was 63 eight under par with three pairs posting that number but the Whitby combination of Colin Upton & Dave Upton claimed the Tankards by virtue of having a back six of 21. Second spot went to the Malton & Norton duo of Alan Miles & Mick Hoal with Fileys Neil Cammish & Dan Barnes edged into third place. As expected North Cliff, having led the Pennant standings from the very start, duly completed the

Their four counting pairs totalled 267 with Fraser Kelley & Dave Parrott on 66, Simon Boddy & Andy Clyde, Paul Draycott & John Titley and Dave Raybould & Dave Ellard each carding 67. Final Scarborough & District Alliance standings were:- Champions Scarborough North Cliff 1566; 2nd Malton & Norton 1631; 3rd Scarborough South Cliff 1644; 4th Filey 1668; 5th Whitby 1679; 6th Kirkbymoorside 1680; 7th Driffield 1686; 8th Bridlington Links 1689; 9th Bridlington Belvedere 1713; 10th Flamborough 1715.
